Got a funny feeling we might sneak this one tonight. Even with Gale back Leeds are still missing some key players and are playing as badly as we are. If we can put a full 80 together i fancy us to get the result.

For me we need to be winning 3 out of the next 4 games, all are teams around us and there's 3 home games on the bounce after tonights. An absolute minimum requirement should be 2 wins as long as one is Leigh. Do that and lower-table mediocrity should be assured. Anything less and it's time to get worried.

On the Leeds fans forum they are more of less at full strength and expect to be 18 to 24 point in front at end of game

But it is when there failing to deal with all kind of kicks from simple ladt play hoofs down field , goal line drop outs ,grubbers over try line and bombs into corner

Only the resident wind up merchants. One of Myler or Walker would be their fullback. Newman would be in the centre. Lui would be stand off. Tetevano starting prop. Smith likely loose forward, Holroyd interchange prop. Thats 6 of their starting 17 and they are in awful form whilst also missing some of their back up players so have some kids in the squad so we'll never have a better chance of taking them down.

I hope we have been working on stopping the ball steal by Leeds.

Tonight is absolutely vital for our season IMO, a win could kick start our season going into another few very winnable games which could turn our season around. A loss and we are most certainly in a relegation battle with Leigh.

It`s a must win for me.

In the words of the wise BOJO this is a must win. I’d take a 1-0 at this point.

With the possible exception of Leeds, who, as we've heard so many times, have an injury crisis, we are already in a relegation battle with Leigh.
All of the other so called "lesser" sides, Salford, KR, Huddersfield etc are way ahead of us, both in terms of players and performance.
A couple of wins could certainly heap the pressure on Leigh and we could sure do with some breathing space and maybe, Salford could get dragged into the fight but, Huddersfield are definitely improving and KR too look to be some way ahead of us.

How do you make that out, that's purely subjective, 2 points are hardly miles ahead and that's how it's judged. When generally sensible posters like you go into OTT pronouncements then I think we all need to calm down a bit.

Of course I may be with you come the end of this evening

Exactly how I was viewing it with my last post, if you look purely on points (Which is the only thing that matters in the end) this game is massive, both for us and Leeds as well.

Clearly, I wasn't referring to competition points and ultimately, these are all that matters in the final analysis.
However, having watched significantly more games than usual, I'm surprised that you disagree about where Trinity are at right now, compared to Huddersfield, KR, Leeds and Salford.
Of course, we could find some form and they all lose theirs or, they could all suffer some kind of similar injury crisis but, we are a million miles behind these clubs in terms of on field performance, attacking structure etc.
Hell, we cant even manage to get anyone in front of our HB when they are kicking the ball, which is just a symptom of the malaise and lack of organisation with in the side at this point in time.
We havent been this poor since JK's last season with us and our squad at that time cost just under a tenner.
Sorry Vasty but, it may be only 2 points but, the gap appears much wider.
Having said that, I'd be delighted to be eating my words at 10pm this evening, having watched us scrape a win or, utterly thrash Leeds

No way am I having a go at Crowther here, but why are we playing him out of position when we’ve brought in a proper 9 and have two sat at home? Then there’s Kelepi at prop again.

I would guess K Wood is injured ... Crowther on first for his defence ???? Tanginoa is a mystery given the props on the bench . Think injuries will hurt us more than the Leeds injuries will do them !

That’s what I’d think, I really don’t get why people think they know better than those who are with the players day in day out.

It’s like people thinking they can re-wire a house because they once wired a plug.

Wood was injured, is knocking on a bit and hasn’t shown any particular form. On his day spot on player but we don’t know what his current state is.

Crowther on the other hand may be fit and raring to go.

For heavens sake can we not second guess every decision and just cheer them on, that’s our job.

Finally, with Arona, Green, Battye and Fifita playing I think it’s fairly obvious that Tanginoa will not play exclusively as a prop.

Kyle is injured, sadly.

But hes starting at prop our dream team second rower our best second rower by a country mile our best wide strike player is starting at prop when we have 3 props on bench....truley baffeling

Who’d have thought

But it’s not is it, it’s just a team sheet not a game plan.

Because he's going for moving them around early on and then putting a really big bench on later.

I hope it works.

Yup, he's going to play Leeds up the middle, and considering how defensively weak our wingers I can see why.

ive no problem with that, run it in hard one after the other and then give them it

We have no props or recognised hooker in the starting line up but a full front row on the bench. I hope Chester knows what he is doing because the team selected does not fill me with great enthusiasm. I hope I am wrong for the clubs sake and Chester proves to be a shrewd coach.

Don't get it myself, the damage could be done before the props come on the field unless Tanginoa and Arona are considered more mobile.

I’m definitely going to mute the sky commentary for this one

Outstanding defence
